DAILY HERALD.
JOHN JOHNSTON'S MILLIONS.
vast Fortune piled Up Ey
Irish immigrant Lads.

The New York Graphic describes
the opening of the legal battle that is
to be fought over the couple of
millions that John Johnston, the
Broadway dry goods merchant, left
after him when he died few months
since. The history of that money
and the Johnston brothers carries a
moral with it that some OF our living
rich men might well consider. Nearly
thirty years ago Charles and John
Johnston arrived in New York. They
had been born and raised in Ennis
killen, little country town about
eighty miles north of Dublin, in
Ireland. They knew scarcely any
thing of business, but they were
willing to work and learn. Charles
got place as porter in Pierson &
Co.'s store, on Canal street, and John
worked in a retail dry goods store in
Brooklyn. They toiled along steadily,
saved their money, and in the flush
days of the war opened small store
for themselves near Stewards up
town place. They were both shrewd,
careful men, and they fixed up their
store so bright and attractive that it
soon became fashionable to purchase
there, and they made money fast, and
they saved it. Two other brothers,
Terence and Robert, who had re-
mained in Ireland, were sent for and
taken into the business. Robert was,
like the three older brothers, a quiet,
economical fellow, but Terence was
inclined to enjoy the good things of
this world, and so he drifted away
from the store, married, and died a
few years ago, leaving an infant son.
Neither of the other brothers married.
Charles was the first to die, and he
left all his interests to his brother
John, and few months ago John was
carried to Calvary cemetery, and
when his will was read he had turned
everything into the hands of his sur
viving brother, Robert. Now the son
of Terence and the two children OF
their sister in Ireland ask for share
in the estate. The career of the
Johnston brothers is that of many a
poor man in New York to-day. They
worked harder day after day, and
wear after year, than any clerk in
their employ. They knew nothing OF
the charms of social life they scarcely,
if ever, went outside of New York
they hardly ever took days vaca-
ton; but they went on month after
month increasing their fortune, and
having no other enjoyment out of
their millions but the satisfaction of
adding to them. They lived COM
fortably in their way they were
charitable, too, but all they have, or
have had, for their life's work, is the
big granite tomb in Calvary cemetery
that they built for themselves years
ago. And now their relatives, with
the aid of dozen lawyers, are fighting
over their accumulated dollars.
